Our R&D Laboratories
At the heart of regulations
It is at the very heart of our R&D centers that we carry out various tests in order to be able to offer a qualitative and reliable product. Thanks to a recent and powerful equipment we can analyze with precision our products in order to propose the best solution to our customer.
Our products are at the heart of the regulations to respect local standards in terms of road and users safety. We design all our products with a real concern for quality, safety and compliance with current regulations. Our laboratories allow us to prepare our products for approvals while being flexible and responsive.
Our tests and trials
Opto-electronics
Photometrical
Thermal and vibratory tests
We subject our lamps and projectors to extreme weather tests ranging from -40 ° C to + 105 ° C. These tests help refine the design of our products to offer robust and resistant concepts.
Trailers and trucks are subject to many vibrations throughout their service life on the roads they use. That's why vibratory tests are part of the indispensable tests done at Vignal. The many hours of vibratory testing ensure product quality and guarantee the proper functioning of the lamps in harsh environments.
Water resistance tests
Water being one of the enemies of signalling lights, we expose our lamps to extreme weather conditions. From the simple rain simulation to the high pressure jet, the lamps are subjected to all possible meteorological conditions. This allows us to guarantee an optimal watertightness of the product and a resistance to corrosion.
Prototypes
To test the mechanical capabilities of a new concept, we have a complete prototyping laboratory with a fleet of 3D printers.
SMD
Our engineers can test their electronics concepts in an instant with our SMD (Surface Mounted Devices) machines.
